Remove Ruby/nanoc dependency

[ajpiano]

Nanoc has taken us pretty far with this site, but the frankenbuild of using node.js to shell out to nanoc (requiring a functioning ruby environment) is hairy and adds a superfluous dependency. The building of the markdown content into html can be handled by a node-based static site generator like Wintersmith instead, and the custom logic in our Rules file can also be ported there as well.

TLDR: requiring node, php, ruby, and python to build the site fully locally feels insane (and inconvenient)

Completely agree.
